Priority for sports stadium

By Our Staff Reporter

MADURAI, OCT. 31. An acclaimed sports person, who represented the State many-a-time at national volleyball and kabbadi championships, the 57-year old Mr.T.Chinnasamy, the new Deputy mayor of Madurai Corporation, is a simpleton.

A farmer, Mr.Chinnasamy has already had a four year stint as a councillor of the Corporation and his association with the DMK is four decade old now.

``For several years, I have been rendering my services freely as a volleyball coach to many colleges. The Mayor Mr. C. Ramachandran was my student in school and college,'' a jubilant Chinnasamy told `The Hindu' adding that establishing an exclusive sports stadium for the Corporation, would be his top most priority.

A school finalist, the deputy mayor is also willing to contribute 50 per cent of the cost required to construct the stadium. ``I will spend my own money to establish playgrounds for the Corporation schools,'' he assured.
